Abstract

The incorporation of the piece named “Amor salvaje”, in the middle 1990, meant somewhat of a breakdown within the up to that moment prevailing structure of the repertoire of Chaqueño Palavecino and went along with the moment of his recognition as a major star within the industry of argentine folkloric music. In this paper, the hypothesis is sustained that the piece marked the beginning of some negotiation between a criollista and traditional profile and the aspirations of a broader audience. Before examining the meanings of the transformations the piece involved both in its musical genre and its tone y moral assumptions, a brief account is offered about the historic traits of criollista identity discourse and the particular way in which it is adopted in the image and practice of Chaqueño Palavecino.

Keywords: Argentine folklore; Chaqueño Palavecino; cultural industry.
